| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Tire de-treaded at 75 mph. i was traveling from home when the de-tread occurred. the dealer whom i purchased a new replacement tire from (fulton, mo) forgot to place the damaged tire in my car. when i returned home i went to a firestone facility expecting the tire to be in my trunk and for firestone to replace under their warranty agreement. however, they informed me they could do nothing for me unless i had the actual tire. i asked if they would call the dealer who replaced the damaged tire and i was told they could not. never received reimbursement - however, of more critical importance to me right now is the need to find a forum to report that de-treading is occurring on tires other than those being recalled and at times of the year that are not excessively hot. i had had the tires inflated and checked immediately prior to my trip, so i'm confident it wasn't due to underinflation. i have since had the other three tires replaced and are not using firestone.( dot number: tire size: 185/65r14 ) |
